Tomato Prenylated RAB Acceptor Protein 1 Modulates Trafficking and Degradation of the Pattern Recognition Receptor LeEIX2, Affecting the Innate Immune Response

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Plants recognize microbial/pathogen associated molecular patterns (MAMP/PAMP) through pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) triggering an immune response against pathogen progression.

A detailed redescription of a skeletally immature ‘Redondasaurus’ suggests ontogenetic transformations in the taxon mirror phytosaurian morphological evolution

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The study of morphological evolution is fundamentally tied to ontogeny, yet studies of these heterochronic processes in the fossil record are rare. Fossils belonging to an ontogenetic series are difficult to assign to an ontogenetic stage due to inconsistent proxies for skeletal ages, challenging to taxonomically assign due to morphological ...

Acyloxyacyl hydrolase promotes the resolution of lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury.

PLoS Pathogens, 2017
Pulmonary infection is the most common risk factor for acute lung injury (ALI). Innate immune responses induced by Microbe-Associated Molecular Pattern (MAMP) molecules are essential for lung defense but can lead to tissue injury.

Agent‐Based Computational Modeling of the Stochastic Dynamic Behavior of Actin Filaments Recapitulates the Homeostatic Cortical Array in Plant Epidermal Cells

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The homeostatic cortical actin array in plant cells plays important roles in fundamental processes, including intracellular transport, secretion, cell expansion, and cytoplasmic streaming. In response to diverse chemical and mechanical signals, the cortical array can remodel within minutes to assume new configurations or altered filament ...

Perception of pathogenic or beneficial bacteria and their evasion of host immunity: pattern recognition receptors in the frontline.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Plants are continuously monitoring the presence of microorganisms to establish an adapted response. Plants commonly use pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) to perceive microbe- or pathogen-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs/PAMPs) which are ...

Enantioselective Determination of Amphetamine‐Type Stimulants in Environmental Waters Using SPE and CE–MS/MS

ELECTROPHORESIS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing concern over drug abuse, particularly involving amphetamine‐type substances (ATS), has led to their monitoring in environmental waters. These chiral compounds, commonly found in river water and wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents, require analytical methods capable of enantiomeric discrimination, as their enantiomers can ...

Comparative Analysis of MAMP-induced Calcium Influx in Arabidopsis Seedlings and Protoplasts [PDF]

Plant and Cell Physiology, 2014
Rapid transient elevation of cytoplasmic calcium (Ca(2+)) levels in plant cells is an early signaling event triggered by many environmental cues including abiotic and biotic stresses. Cellular Ca(2+) levels and their alterations can be monitored by genetically encoded reporter systems such as the bioluminescent protein, aequorin.

Innovation in Nucleotide-Binding Oligomerization-Like Receptor and Toll-Like Receptor Sensing Drives the Major Histocompatibility Complex-II Free Atlantic Cod Immune System

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
The absence of MHC class II antigen presentation and multiple pathogen recognition receptors in the Atlantic cod has not impaired its immune response however how underlying mechanisms have adapted remains largely unknown.

Plasma Membrane-Associated Proteins Identified in Arabidopsis Wild Type, lbr2-2 and bak1-4 Mutants Treated with LPSs from Pseudomonas syringae and Xanthomonas campestris

Membranes, 2022
Plants recognise bacterial microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) from the environment via plasma membrane (PM)-localised pattern recognition receptor(s) (PRRs).

Placental‐Derived Connective Tissue Matrix Mediates Murine Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Regeneration

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Placentally derived connective tissue matrix (pd‐CTM) innately contains various neurotrophic, angiogenic, anti‐inflammatory, and tissue remodeling cytokines. In this mouse model of unilateral vocal fold paralysis, we investigate its effects on recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) regeneration and reinnervation of the right thyroarytenoid (TA) muscle after ...
